A Peace Tree for your Organization, Business or Hospital

Many organizations, business and hospitals are becoming aware of The Peace Tree Spirit and would like to have a Peace Tree created for their institution. Students in schools are becoming more and more aware of the challenges faced by many children around the world and realize the need to assist those who are underprivileged.

By researching and creating a set of Peace Tree symbols (made from paper mache, Fimo, wooden cutout pieces), children can present the symbols to an organization, business or hospital that is interested in creating their own Peace Tree. After researching a charity of their choice, the students can donate the symbols to the institution and the institution in turn will donate $200 to $500 (depending on the size of the organization), to the charity of the students’ choice. Up to fifty dollars will go towards the school to cover the cost of supplies and the remainder to the charity. The institution will purchase the tree that will be turned into a Peace Tree.

Once the symbols are complete, students can visit the institution, do a presentation about the importance of the Peace Tree and decorate the symbols on the institutions tree. To inaugurate the Peace Tree students can sing the Peace Tree song and share and celebrate the Peace Tree Spirit with all the employees!
